#FeatureFriday with @coforegon 💛 This week we’re celebrating our #instaballet partner, Circle of Friends — a female-founded 501(c)(3) in Lane County supporting children and youth with complex disabilities and those who love them. Their work builds community rooted in opportunity and the belief that every person has value. We also had the joy of creating with them for Friendsgiving this week, and our hearts are still so full! 💛

We are so excited to #create with the students at @bridgewayhouse tomorrow! See you soon, friends ❤️✨💫

#FeatureFriday with @suzi.haag and @eugeneballetcompany 💫 Huge congratulations to #instaballet co-founder Suzanne Haag on her world premiere of Dracula with @eugeneballetcompany, happening this weekend! As the company’s Resident Choreographer and Associate Artistic Director, Suzanne continues to elevate our arts community with bold, imaginative work. 🦇✨ Catch it at the Hult Center Nov 1–2 — this is one for the history books. Tickets at hultcenter.org 🎟️

#FeatureFriday with @casaoflanecounty ❤️ This week we joined @casaoflanecounty for their inspiring Voice for Kids Luncheon! Earlier this year, we had the joy of leading our first #instaballet workshop with CASA youth, and it was such a special experience. We’re so excited to keep building on this connection and continue bringing movement, imagination, and joy to more children across Lane County! 🌟

#MovementMonday isn’t over yet 😌 Here’s a little throwback to some rehearsal footage of our September #instaballet on the @laneartscouncil ArtWalk 💃 We already can’t wait for next season! Which #instaballet was your favorite this year? Let us know in the comments ✨

This land has always danced. Today on #MovementMonday, we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Kalapuya people, the original stewards of the Willamette Valley — whose stories and movement continue to inspire us. Looking for ways to honor and celebrate Indigenous communities locally? Here are two meaningful opportunities this week: 🎨 Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) @jsmauo Enjoy free admission and special hours for Indigenous Peoples’ Day, including James Lavadour: Land of Origin and the Art Acknowledgement of the Land installation featuring work by Steph Littlebird. 👉 jsma.uoregon.edu/events/special-hours-indigenous-peoples-day-0 🎬 Don Dexter Gallery x Hult Center @hultcenter Catch a screening of Barking Water — part of their Indigenous Film Series — on October 15 at 7 PM (arrive early to explore Indigenous artwork in the Hult Center lobby). 👉 hultcenter.org/events/indigenous-film-night-series-barking-waters/ Let’s keep moving with gratitude, awareness, and connection. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

🌟 #FeatureFriday: CLF Network 🌟 This week, we’re thrilled to highlight CLF Network, a nonprofit made up of passionate young professionals dedicated to serving the underserved children of Lane County. 💚 Through partnerships, fundraising initiatives, and hands-on volunteerism, CLF Network empowers the next generation — inspiring, educating, and equipping local youth to become confident, compassionate, and capable leaders. Together, they’re building a brighter, stronger community for all. 🌟 We recently had the privilege of partnering with CLF Network volunteers during our HeART in Motion cleanup, and their enthusiasm and teamwork made a huge impact! 💪 CLF Network connects organizations like ours with dedicated volunteers who are ready to make a difference right here in Lane County. Thank you, CLF Network, for your heart, your leadership, and your commitment to community. 💙 #FeatureFriday #CLFNetwork #HeartInMotion #CommunityImpact #LaneCounty #YoungProfessionals #MakingADifference
